Over 100 stone burial chambers, some 5,000 years old, are scattered across the hills, with underground passages once believed to lead to a mythical underworld. The most dramatic is Queen Maeve’s tomb atop Knocknarea Mountain. Both Keshcorran and Carrowkeel are free to visit — just a 10- to 20-minute walk from parking lots. Cape York Peninsula, Australia‌ Covering over 45,000 square miles of rainforest and wetlands, Australia’s northernmost region features 20,000-year-old rock art created by Indigenous Australians, one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations. The peninsula is home to only 17,000 people — more than half of whom are Indigenous. It begins about 100 miles north of Cairns, where visitors can rent a car or fly to small communities. Real Felipe Fortress, Peru‌ Ten miles west of Lima, this seaside fortress was rebuilt after the 1746 earthquake as a five-sided fort with a moat and a mile-long stone wall. Tourists can explore its 24-acre grounds and two military museums, and enjoy views of the sea where Spanish ships once retreated. The fortress witnessed Peru’s final victory over Spain in 1826 and is open daily, with guided tours available. Gcwihaba Caves, Botswana‌ Burrowed into the Aha Hills near the Namibian border, these six cave systems contain fossils and rock formations over two million years old — possibly the richest in southern Africa. A 630-mile drive from Gaborone requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Inside, bats fill dark chambers; outside, visitors may spot rare trees and geckos. The caves are best visited in the dry season. 1. Which site can visitors tour with a guide? A. Sligo Passage Tombs. B. Cape York Peninsula. C. Real Felipe Fortress. D. Gcwihaba Caves. 2. What do we know about Cape York Peninsula? A. It is heavily populated. B. It is known for ancient rock art. C. It is located south of Cairns. D. It has underground passages. 3. What is special about visiting the Gcwihaba Caves? A. Free entry is offered. B. A short walk is needed. C. A sea view is provided. D. A visit in the dry season is recommended. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是四处联合国教科文组织世界遗产暂定名录景点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Real Felipe Fortress, Peru部分中“The fortress witnessed Peru’s final victory over Spain in 1826 and is open daily, with guided tours available. (这座堡垒见证了 1826 年秘鲁战胜西班牙取得最终胜利，如今每日对外开放，还提供有导游讲解服务。)”可知，皇家费利佩堡垒每日开放并提供导游服务，游客可以在导游带领下游览。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cape York Peninsula, Australia部分中“Covering over 45,000 square miles of rainforest and wetlands, Australia’s northernmost region features 20,000-year-old rock art created by Indigenous Australians, one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations. (澳大利亚最北端地区覆盖超过 45000 平方英里的雨林与湿地，这里拥有澳大利亚原住民创作的、距今两万年历史的岩石艺术；原住民文明也是世界上最古老的未曾中断的文明之一。)”可知，约克角半岛以有两万年历史的古老岩画艺术而闻名。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Gcwihaba Caves, Botswana部分最后一句“The caves are best visited in the dry season.(这些洞穴最好在旱季游览。)”可知，参观格维哈巴洞穴的特殊之处在于建议在旱季前往，此时条件最佳。 B Steve Clark, 45, a musician from Surrey, battled a fear of swimming for most of his life. As a child, he never took to the water. “It always bothered me. I used to look at people swimming on holiday, and think that I was missing out on the enjoyment of it,” he says. One bad experience when he was on a business trip in his twenties set Clark back even further. He decided to take a dip in a hotel pool, thinking that it wouldn’t be that difficult. This led to a panic moment after he lost his footing in the deep end of the pool. “I was extremely scared that I couldn’t swim,” he says. But in 2014 Clark decided to take the plunge — after all, he was “running out of excuses” not to. Helped by the gentle encouragement of his partner, he completed 10 beginners’ lessons. “It was difficult to start with. My main fear was putting my head under the water, but the instructors taught me a technique to help. Once I learnt how to do it, it got me over the fear,” he says. The swimming lessons allowed him to participate in something that always felt impossible. Clark’s story shows that midlife (中年) is as good a time as any to learn. A study in 2018 by Columbia University found that healthy older men and women can generate just as many new brain cells as younger people. “We used to think of getting older as a loss: a time when we lose skills and lose our looks. But so much research has shown that losing your abilities is not unavoidable,” says Linda Blair, a psychologist. She explains that learning skills can help to keep our brains young. “The brain is like a muscle, so when you learn something new, you’re exercising it and getting better blood flow to the brain. You’re also reestablishing connections; you don’t have to lose a skill forever, you can regain it.” 4. What initially bothered Clark according to the passage? A. His panic in a hotel pool. B. His lack of encouragement. C. His failure in a business trip. D. His inability to enjoy swimming. 5. What does the underlined phrase “take the plunge” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Accept the fact. B. Have a go. C. Avoid the risk. D. Realize his dream. 6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Being old does not necessarily mean losing skills. B. People can easily learn new skills at any stage of life. C. Building up muscles can help blood flow into the brain. D. Seniors can produce as many new brain cells as youths. 7. What does Clark’s experience show? A. No pains, no gains. B. Every dog has its day. C. Practice makes perfect. D. It’s never too old to learn. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】主要说明了45岁音乐人Clark自幼怕水，一次泳池遇险加重恐惧，中年才开始学游泳。文章借其经历说明中年同样适合学习，研究表明年长人群大脑仍可更新，学习能延缓能力衰退。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““It always bothered me. I used to look at people swimming on holiday, and think that I was missing out on the enjoyment of it,” he says. (“这一直让我感到困扰。我过去总看到人们在度假时游泳，觉得自己的生活似乎错过了这种乐趣。”他说。)”可知，最初让克拉克感到困扰的是他无法享受游泳。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Helped by the gentle encouragement of his partner, he completed 10 beginners’ lessons. (在伴侣的温柔鼓励下，他完成了10节初学者课程。)”可知，2014年他决定下定决心学游泳，故划线词意思是“尝试一下”。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But so much research has shown that losing your abilities is not unavoidable (但大量研究表明，丧失能力并非不可避免)”可知，年龄大并不一定意味着失去技能。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Clark’s story shows that midlife (中年) is as good a time as any to learn. (克拉克的故事表明，中年是学习的最佳时机之一。)”可知，克拉克的经历说明了学习永远不会太晚。 C Dreams seem to occur at random, from everyday situations to unpredictable experiences. Now, a new study shows that our personal features as well as real-life events actually shape what we dream about, creating patterns in our subconsciousness (潜意识). The study, published in Communications Psychology, analyzed thousands of dreams and waking experience reports collected over four years. The researchers used natural language processing tools to quantify the structure of dreams. They found that personal features like how often someone daydreams, their attitudes about dreams, and their sleep quality all influence dream content. Researchers noticed that dreams don’t simply replay scenes from our daily lives. Instead, dreams seem to mix familiar places like workplaces, hospitals, and schools into new scenes that combine memories with imagination. The reported dreams tended to focus more on visual details, feature more characters, and make less logical sense. They were also less self-focused and less driven by conscious thinking. These dream transformations weren’t the same for everyone. Participants who spent more time daydreaming during the day tended to have dreams that jumped rapidly from one scene to another. Those who placed more importance on dreams described them as more vivid and immersive. Sleep quality also played a role. The team used three large language models, LLaMA 3, ChatGPT-4, and ChatGPT-4 Turbo, to evaluate dream reports on 16 different aspects, such as mood, strangeness and freedom of movement. “By combining large-scale data with computational methods, we were able to discover patterns in dream contents that were previously difficult to find,” Elce said. “This opens new possibilities for studying consciousness, memory, and mental health in a better way.” 8. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. Data analysis. B. Sleep observation. C. Personal interview. D. Life event tracking. 9. Which of the following best describes the nature of the dream? A. Creative. B. Predictable. C. Realistic. D. Repetitive. 10. What is the main advantage of the language models? A. Increasing the number of dream features. B. Improving the accuracy of human brains. C. Simplifying more personal dream reports. D. Identifying the patterns of various dreams. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. To Control Dreams, Control Your Day. B. Better Sleep Creates Better Dreaming. C. AI Now Fully Understands Our Dreams. D. Dreams Are the Mind’s Hidden Patterns. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了一项新的研究表明，我们的个人特征以及现实生活中的事件实际上塑造了我们的梦境内容，在我们的潜意识中创造了模式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The study, published in Communications Psychology, analyzed thousands of dreams and waking experience reports collected over four years. The researchers used natural language processing tools to quantify the structure of dreams. (这项发表在《传播心理学》上的研究分析了四年来收集的数千份梦境和清醒体验报告。研究人员使用自然语言处理工具来量化梦的结构)”以及第五段““By combining large-scale data with computational methods, we were able to discover patterns in dream contents that were previously difficult to find,” Elce said. “This opens new possibilities for studying consciousness, memory, and mental health in a better way.”(“通过将大规模数据与计算方法相结合，我们能够发现以前很难找到的梦内容中的模式”，Elce说。“这为以更好的方式研究意识、记忆和心理健康开辟了新的可能性”)”可知，研究人员是通过收集大量报告并使用自然语言处理工具进行数据分析来开展研究的。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead, dreams seem to mix familiar places like workplaces, hospitals, and schools into new scenes that combine memories with imagination.(相反，梦似乎将工作场所、医院和学校等熟悉的地方融入了将记忆与想象相结合的新场景中)”可知，梦境不是简单重复现实生活，而是结合记忆与想象创造出新的场景，这充分体现了梦境有创造力的本质。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段““By combining large-scale data with computational methods, we were able to discover patterns in dream contents that were previously difficult to find,” Elce said. (“通过将大规模数据与计算方法相结合，我们能够发现以前很难找到的梦内容中的模式，”Elce说)”可知，研究团队使用大型语言模型等计算方法，其主要优势在于能够发现以前难以发现的梦境内容模式。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段“Now, a new study shows that our personal features as well as real-life events actually shape what we dream about, creating patterns in our subconsciousness (潜意识).(一项新的研究表明，我们的个人特征以及现实生活中的事件实际上塑造了我们的梦境内容，在我们的潜意识中创造了模式)”以及随后全文详细介绍的科学家如何通过收集数据、利用AI语言模型来分析并证实梦境中隐藏的各种模式。因此，选项D“Dreams Are the Mind’s Hidden Patterns.(梦境是心灵隐藏的模式)”最能准确概括全文核心内容，适合作为文章标题。 D Chinese brands are rapidly expanding globally, from Pop Mart’s (泡泡玛特) cute collectibles to TikTok’s viral influence and Luckin Coffee’s budget-friendly drinks. As China moves up the value chain, its soft power grows, though sustainability challenges remain. The long-standing narrative of “made in China, designed elsewhere” is undergoing a profound change. Pop Mart, which started with a single Beijing store a decade ago, now operates outlets across the US. Since 2024, its annual income has more than tripled, with overall sales surging 250%. As a flagship cultural export, TikTok ranks among America’s top five social media platforms, boasting over 170 million monthly active users and exposing young Americans to Chinese pop culture, traditional craftsmanship and daily life through short videos. Luckin Coffee, China’s largest coffee chain, outperformed Starbucks in sales income and is now expanding in the US by adapting its menu to local tastes and focusing on high-foot-traffic urban areas. These brands’ global successes are often supported by government initiatives, as China aims to expand its international influence through enterprises blending innovation and cultural connotations (内涵). However, significant challenges persist. TikTok has faced intense reviews over data privacy in Western countries, while Pop Mart confronts pressures over packaging waste. For some Chinese ecommerce platforms, user retention rates (用户留存率) remain lower than Amazon’s 93% in the US, as they struggle to compete with local rivals’ personalized services. Despite these obstacles, Chinese brands have firmly established their global presence. As a natural outcome of China’s economic upgrading, their international expansion integrates more Chinese products and services into global daily life — fostering the nation’s soft power and reshaping “Chinese brands” as innovative, trustworthy and culturally resonant. 12. What can we learn about Pop Mart, TikTok and Luckin Coffee from Paragraph 2? A. All of them started their business in Beijing ten years ago. B. Luckin Coffee’s sales income was higher than Starbucks’. C. TikTok has more than 170 million daily active users in America. D. Pop Mart’s annual income stayed the same after 2024. 13. What is one of the challenges Chinese global brands are facing? A. Pop Mart gets complaints about packaging waste. B. TikTok loses most users because of poor short videos. C. Luckin Coffee fails to change its menu for local people. D. Chinese e-commerce platforms beat Amazon in user retention. 14. What can be inferred from the text? A. The old idea “made in China, designed elsewhere” will never change. B. Government projects help some Chinese brands go global. C. Chinese brands’ success mainly depends on cheap products. D. Chinese soft power stops growing because of difficulties. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The development of social media platform TikTok in America. B. The reasons why Chinese coffee chains beat foreign brands. C. Chinese brands expand worldwide with achievements and challenges. D. The big problems of Chinese brands’ overseas marketing. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍中国品牌走向全球取得的成就，同时面临各类挑战及其软实力影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Pop Mart, which started with a single Beijing store a decade ago, now operates outlets across the US. Since 2024, its annual income has more than tripled, with overall sales surging 250%. As a flagship cultural export, TikTok ranks among America’s top five social media platforms, boasting over 170 million monthly active users and exposing young Americans to Chinese pop culture, traditional craftsmanship and daily life through short videos. Luckin Coffee, China’s largest coffee chain, outperformed Starbucks in sales income and is now expanding in the US by adapting its menu to local tastes and focusing on high-foot-traffic urban areas.(泡泡玛特十年前从北京一家门店起步，如今在美国各地设有门店。自2024年起，它的年收入增长两倍多，总销售额暴涨250%。作为旗舰级文化输出平台，TikTok跻身美国五大社交媒体平台，拥有超1.7亿月活跃用户，通过短视频让美国年轻人接触中国流行文化、传统工艺与日常生活。中国最大连锁咖啡品牌瑞幸咖啡销售收入超过星巴克，现在在美国拓展业务，调整菜单适应当地口味，并聚焦人流量大的城区。)” 可知，瑞幸咖啡销售收入高于星巴克。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“However, significant challenges persist. TikTok has faced intense reviews over data privacy in Western countries, while Pop Mart confronts pressures over packaging waste. For some Chinese ecommerce platforms, user retention rates (用户留存率) remain lower than Amazon’s 93% in the US, as they struggle to compete with local rivals’ personalized services.(然而，巨大的挑战仍然存在。TikTok在西方国家面临有关数据隐私的严格审查，泡泡玛特面临包装废弃物相关的压力。对于部分中国电商平台，它们在美国的用户留存率仍低于亚马逊的93%，难以和本土对手的个性化服务竞争。)” 可知，泡泡玛特收到有关包装垃圾方面的投诉。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“These brands’ global successes are often supported by government initiatives, as China aims to expand its international influence through enterprises blending innovation and cultural connotations (内涵).(这些品牌在全球取得的成功往往得到政府项目的支持，中国旨在通过兼具创新与文化内涵的企业扩大国际影响力。)” 可知，政府举措助力部分中国品牌走向海外。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章先介绍泡泡玛特、TikTok、瑞幸咖啡等中国品牌出海取得的成绩，接着阐述品牌面临的各类挑战，最后说明中国品牌仍在全球站稳脚跟。因此文章主旨是中国品牌走向世界，既有成就也面临挑战。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Overcome Depression Depression is a weakening condition that can make it impossible for you to enjoy your daily life. It will make you feel sad from time to time.

Being a more optimistic individual will enable you to view your life and the world in a way that fills you with hope rather than despair, so try to cultivate a positive mindset. To think more positively, you should learn how to identify your negative thoughts and combat them with solid positive ones whenever possible. For a jump-start, list at least five things to be thankful for. ____19____ ____20____ Neglecting personal hygiene (卫生) is a typical side effect of depression. While you will not defeat your depression merely by transforming your looks, taking time daily to keep up your external image and personal cleanliness will gradually boost your self-esteem. Form good daily habits of bathing, dental protection and hair maintenance. A. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking. B. Then keep this habit of thankfulness going every day. C. A regular daily routine works wonders for your mental health. D. Whichever way you choose, stick to it. E. How you look on the outside affects how you feel on the inside. F.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍克服抑郁症的方法：判断抑郁信号，保持忙碌，规律饮食，培养感恩乐观心态，打理个人卫生，借助多种方式改善身心状态。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Depression is a weakening condition that can make it impossible for you to enjoy your daily life. It will make you feel sad from time to time. To overcome depression, you first need to find out whether your feelings are signs of depression.(抑郁症是一种使人衰弱的病症，会让你无法享受日常生活，时常感到悲伤。想要克服抑郁症，首先你需要判断自身感受是否属于抑郁的信号)”空前提到要先判断自身感受是否是抑郁的迹象，G项“例如，如果你感到情绪低落、孤独或自我否定，你可能正遭受抑郁症困扰”举例说明情绪低落、孤独、自我否定等可能是抑郁的表现，承接上文逻辑，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Keep yourself busy. Fill your schedule with events and activities you love. Keeping a packed schedule will force you to stay active, focused, and thinking about the next thing on your list. You can draw up a schedule for each day at the start of the week, or simply plan out each day the night before.(让自己保持忙碌。把日程安排满自己喜爱的活动。紧凑的日程会促使你保持活力、专注，思考清单上接下来要做的事。你可以在每周初制定每日计划，或是在前一晚规划第二天的安排)”可知，前文提到可以选择不同方式制定每日日程，D项“无论你选择哪种方式，都要坚持下去”表示无论选哪种方式都要坚持，对应前文的两种日程规划方案，衔接自然。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Optimize your eating pattern.(优化你的饮食模式)”以及下文“Even if you’re losing your appetite, you should be resolved to eat three meals daily. You don’t need to try to lose weight or be incredibly health conscious when you’re dealing with your depression, but eating wholesome food regularly will improve your mental and physical state.(即便没有胃口，也要坚持一日三餐。对抗抑郁时不必刻意减重或是过分关注健康，但规律摄入健康食物能够改善身心状态)”可知，本段主题是优化饮食模式，F项“规律进餐有助于调节情绪与精力”说明规律用餐有助于调节情绪和精力，契合饮食相关的主题，引出后文规律吃三餐的内容。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Being a more optimistic individual will enable you to view your life and the world in a way that fills you with hope rather than despair, so try to cultivate a positive mindset. To think more positively, you should learn how to identify your negative thoughts and combat them with solid positive ones whenever possible. For a jump-start, list at least five things to be thankful for.(成为更乐观的人，能让你满怀希望而非绝望地看待生活与世界，所以要努力培养积极心态。想要更积极地思考，你要学会识别消极想法，并尽可能用坚定的积极想法对抗它们。作为起步，至少列出五件值得感恩的事)”可知，空前提到可以先列出至少五件值得感恩的事，B项“之后每天坚持保持这份感恩的习惯”表示之后每天都要保持感恩的习惯，承接上文关于培养积极心态、列举感恩事项的内容。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Neglecting personal hygiene (卫生) is a typical side effect of depression. While you will not defeat your depression merely by transforming your looks, taking time daily to keep up your external image and personal cleanliness will gradually boost your self-esteem. Form good daily habits of bathing, dental protection and hair maintenance.(忽视个人卫生是抑郁症典型的附带表现。仅仅改变外表无法战胜抑郁，但每天花时间打理外在形象、保持个人清洁会慢慢提升自尊。养成洗澡、护牙、打理头发的日常好习惯)”可知，空后内容讲述忽视个人卫生是抑郁的典型副作用，打理外在形象能提升自尊，E项“你的外在形象会影响内心感受”点明外在状态会影响内在感受，作为本段主题句总领后文内容。 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Marco thought environmental protection was for politicians and scientists. Then his grandfather Old Tom took him to the Thompson River. “See that?” Tom pointed at plastic bags hanging from tree branches. “That’s our ____21____.” Marco shrugged. “It’s not like we put them there.” Tom didn’t argue. He just handed Marco a trash bag. “____22____,” he said. So Marco did. He pulled bottles from the mud. At first, he felt ____23____. This was pointless — more trash would come tomorrow. But Tom worked silently, filling bag after bag. By noon, they had collected seven bags. Marco’s back ached, but something had shifted. “Why do you do this if it never ____24____?” he asked. Tom wiped his forehead. “Because the river doesn’t need us to solve everything. It needs us to ____25____.” He pointed to ducks swimming through the cleaned area. “See how they move? That’s their way of saying thank you.” Week after week, they returned. Some weekends, neighbors ____26____. Other days, they worked alone. Marco stopped complaining. He started noticing small changes: clearer water, more fish. He learned that hope isn’t a feeling — it’s a ____27____.

As a high school student, I once held a deep distrust of animals, because of several terrifying encounters in my childhood. Once I was bitten by a rabbit, and another time a big dog charged me while I rode my bike to school. On a sweltering summer day, a stray dog (流浪狗) even chased my school cross-country training team when we were doing outdoor practice. All those negative experiences carved a fixed belief into my mind: all creatures, great and small, were no friends of mine. As I grew older and entered senior high school, I lived in the city with my family. Surprisingly, almost every friend I made raised pets, and I even got bitten by a pet bird by accident once. It felt like fate would never let me live peacefully alongside any animal. Then I met my best friend Lisa. We were close classmates, and after she moved to a new community near my home, I often went to her house, where I shared space with her lovely dog Bailey. Gradually, I began to accept the idea of getting along with this little creature. Even so, my prejudice (偏见) against animals never faded completely. I still kept away from Bailey and believed that all animals were unpredictable and dangerous. I often told Lisa that animals might hurt people suddenly, which sparked fierce arguments between us. No matter how gentle Bailey was, I refused to trust it fully. One evening, I went to Lisa’s backyard to wait for her. I was walking carelessly in the grass when my worst nightmare (噩梦) nearly came true. A poisonous snake crept out of the bushes and stared at me, ready to attack. Frozen with fear, I dared not move an inch. Just at that moment, Bailey rushed over instantly. It stood firmly in front of me, barking loudly to scare the snake away. It bravely drove the dangerous snake out of the yard. Witnessing this scene, I was speechless and moved to tears. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I knelt down and gently stroked (抚摸) Bailey’s head. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, Bailey became my trusted family member. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 I knelt down and gently stroked Bailey’s head. A mix of guilt and gratitude flooded my heart. All my long-held prejudice against animals vanished the moment I witnessed its bravery. For so long, I had blindly judged animals as dangerous, ignoring Bailey’s constant gentleness and tolerance toward me. It was exactly this loyal dog that risked itself to save me from the poisonous snake. Ashamed of my narrow-minded bias, I whispered softly to it, sincere regret filling my mind. From that day on, Bailey became my trusted family member. I began to actively approach and care for it every time I visited Lisa. I played with it and learned to treat little creatures with kindness and patience. Bailey’s bravery and warmth completely changed my old views. I finally realized that animals are never our enemies. Instead, they are loyal friends, and true harmony between humans and animals comes from trust and understanding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者对动物态度的转变为线索展开，讲述作者童年多次被动物伤害，一直对动物心存偏见。认识好友Lisa和她家小狗Bailey后，作者仍无法完全信任动物。直到一天作者在Lisa后院遭遇毒蛇，Bailey挺身而出将蛇赶走，彻底改变了作者的想法。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者抚摸Bailey，内心充满愧疚与感激，长久以来对动物的偏见瞬间消散，反思自己过去片面的看法。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者之后主动亲近Bailey，学会善待小动物，明白了人与动物之间信任的意义。 2. 续写线索：抚摸Bailey → 心生愧疚感激 → 偏见消散，反思自我 → 主动亲近小狗 → 转变观念，领悟人与动物的关系 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①改变：change/transform ②忽略：ignore/neglect 情绪类 ①愧疚的：ashamed/guilty ②温柔地：softly/gently 【点睛】[高分句型1] All my long-held prejudice against animals vanished the moment I witnessed its bravery.（运用了the moment引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]It was exactly this loyal dog that risked itself to save me from the poisonous snake.（运用了强调句式） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 柳地高28届10月英语限时训练 （考试时间：120分钟 总分：150分） 注意事项： 1．试卷分为试题卷和答题卡两部分，答案一律填写在答题卡上，在试题卷上作答无效。 2．答题前，请认真阅读答题卡上的注意事项。 3．考试结束后，仅将答题卡交回。 第Ⅰ卷（选择题） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Over 100 stone burial chambers, some 5,000 years old, are scattered across the hills, with underground passages once believed to lead to a mythical underworld. The most dramatic is Queen Maeve’s tomb atop Knocknarea Mountain. Both Keshcorran and Carrowkeel are free to visit — just a 10- to 20-minute walk from parking lots. Cape York Peninsula, Australia‌ Covering over 45,000 square miles of rainforest and wetlands, Australia’s northernmost region features 20,000-year-old rock art created by Indigenous Australians, one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations. The peninsula is home to only 17,000 people — more than half of whom are Indigenous. It begins about 100 miles north of Cairns, where visitors can rent a car or fly to small communities. Real Felipe Fortress, Peru‌ Ten miles west of Lima, this seaside fortress was rebuilt after the 1746 earthquake as a five-sided fort with a moat and a mile-long stone wall. Tourists can explore its 24-acre grounds and two military museums, and enjoy views of the sea where Spanish ships once retreated. The fortress witnessed Peru’s final victory over Spain in 1826 and is open daily, with guided tours available. Gcwihaba Caves, Botswana‌ Burrowed into the Aha Hills near the Namibian border, these six cave systems contain fossils and rock formations over two million years old — possibly the richest in southern Africa. A 630-mile drive from Gaborone requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Inside, bats fill dark chambers; outside, visitors may spot rare trees and geckos. The caves are best visited in the dry season. 1. Which site can visitors tour with a guide? A. Sligo Passage Tombs. B. Cape York Peninsula. C. Real Felipe Fortress. D. Gcwihaba Caves. 2. What do we know about Cape York Peninsula? A. It is heavily populated. B. It is known for ancient rock art. C. It is located south of Cairns. D. It has underground passages. 3. What is special about visiting the Gcwihaba Caves? A. Free entry is offered. B. A short walk is needed. C. A sea view is provided. D. A visit in the dry season is recommended. B Steve Clark, 45, a musician from Surrey, battled a fear of swimming for most of his life. As a child, he never took to the water. “It always bothered me. I used to look at people swimming on holiday, and think that I was missing out on the enjoyment of it,” he says. One bad experience when he was on a business trip in his twenties set Clark back even further. He decided to take a dip in a hotel pool, thinking that it wouldn’t be that difficult. This led to a panic moment after he lost his footing in the deep end of the pool. “I was extremely scared that I couldn’t swim,” he says. But in 2014 Clark decided to take the plunge — after all, he was “running out of excuses” not to. Helped by the gentle encouragement of his partner, he completed 10 beginners’ lessons. “It was difficult to start with. My main fear was putting my head under the water, but the instructors taught me a technique to help. Once I learnt how to do it, it got me over the fear,” he says. The swimming lessons allowed him to participate in something that always felt impossible. Clark’s story shows that midlife (中年) is as good a time as any to learn. A study in 2018 by Columbia University found that healthy older men and women can generate just as many new brain cells as younger people. “We used to think of getting older as a loss: a time when we lose skills and lose our looks. But so much research has shown that losing your abilities is not unavoidable,” says Linda Blair, a psychologist. She explains that learning skills can help to keep our brains young. “The brain is like a muscle, so when you learn something new, you’re exercising it and getting better blood flow to the brain. You’re also reestablishing connections; you don’t have to lose a skill forever, you can regain it.” 4. What initially bothered Clark according to the passage? A. His panic in a hotel pool. B. His lack of encouragement. C. His failure in a business trip. D. His inability to enjoy swimming. 5. What does the underlined phrase “take the plunge” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Accept the fact. B. Have a go. C. Avoid the risk. D. Realize his dream. 6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Being old does not necessarily mean losing skills. B. People can easily learn new skills at any stage of life. C. Building up muscles can help blood flow into the brain. D. Seniors can produce as many new brain cells as youths. 7. What does Clark’s experience show? A. No pains, no gains. B. Every dog has its day. C. Practice makes perfect. D. It’s never too old to learn. C Dreams seem to occur at random, from everyday situations to unpredictable experiences. Now, a new study shows that our personal features as well as real-life events actually shape what we dream about, creating patterns in our subconsciousness (潜意识). The study, published in Communications Psychology, analyzed thousands of dreams and waking experience reports collected over four years. The researchers used natural language processing tools to quantify the structure of dreams. They found that personal features like how often someone daydreams, their attitudes about dreams, and their sleep quality all influence dream content. Researchers noticed that dreams don’t simply replay scenes from our daily lives. Instead, dreams seem to mix familiar places like workplaces, hospitals, and schools into new scenes that combine memories with imagination. The reported dreams tended to focus more on visual details, feature more characters, and make less logical sense. They were also less self-focused and less driven by conscious thinking. These dream transformations weren’t the same for everyone. Participants who spent more time daydreaming during the day tended to have dreams that jumped rapidly from one scene to another. Those who placed more importance on dreams described them as more vivid and immersive. Sleep quality also played a role. The team used three large language models, LLaMA 3, ChatGPT-4, and ChatGPT-4 Turbo, to evaluate dream reports on 16 different aspects, such as mood, strangeness and freedom of movement. “By combining large-scale data with computational methods, we were able to discover patterns in dream contents that were previously difficult to find,” Elce said. “This opens new possibilities for studying consciousness, memory, and mental health in a better way.” 8. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. Data analysis. B. Sleep observation. C. Personal interview. D. Life event tracking. 9. Which of the following best describes the nature of the dream? A. Creative. B. Predictable. C. Realistic. D. Repetitive. 10. What is the main advantage of the language models? A. Increasing the number of dream features. B. Improving the accuracy of human brains. C. Simplifying more personal dream reports. D. Identifying the patterns of various dreams. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. To Control Dreams, Control Your Day. B. Better Sleep Creates Better Dreaming. C. AI Now Fully Understands Our Dreams. D. Dreams Are the Mind’s Hidden Patterns. D Chinese brands are rapidly expanding globally, from Pop Mart’s (泡泡玛特) cute collectibles to TikTok’s viral influence and Luckin Coffee’s budget-friendly drinks. As China moves up the value chain, its soft power grows, though sustainability challenges remain. The long-standing narrative of “made in China, designed elsewhere” is undergoing a profound change. Pop Mart, which started with a single Beijing store a decade ago, now operates outlets across the US. Since 2024, its annual income has more than tripled, with overall sales surging 250%. As a flagship cultural export, TikTok ranks among America’s top five social media platforms, boasting over 170 million monthly active users and exposing young Americans to Chinese pop culture, traditional craftsmanship and daily life through short videos. Luckin Coffee, China’s largest coffee chain, outperformed Starbucks in sales income and is now expanding in the US by adapting its menu to local tastes and focusing on high-foot-traffic urban areas. These brands’ global successes are often supported by government initiatives, as China aims to expand its international influence through enterprises blending innovation and cultural connotations (内涵). However, significant challenges persist. TikTok has faced intense reviews over data privacy in Western countries, while Pop Mart confronts pressures over packaging waste. For some Chinese ecommerce platforms, user retention rates (用户留存率) remain lower than Amazon’s 93% in the US, as they struggle to compete with local rivals’ personalized services. Despite these obstacles, Chinese brands have firmly established their global presence. As a natural outcome of China’s economic upgrading, their international expansion integrates more Chinese products and services into global daily life — fostering the nation’s soft power and reshaping “Chinese brands” as innovative, trustworthy and culturally resonant. 12. What can we learn about Pop Mart, TikTok and Luckin Coffee from Paragraph 2? A. All of them started their business in Beijing ten years ago. B. Luckin Coffee’s sales income was higher than Starbucks’. C. TikTok has more than 170 million daily active users in America. D. Pop Mart’s annual income stayed the same after 2024. 13. What is one of the challenges Chinese global brands are facing? A. Pop Mart gets complaints about packaging waste. B. TikTok loses most users because of poor short videos. C. Luckin Coffee fails to change its menu for local people. D. Chinese e-commerce platforms beat Amazon in user retention. 14. What can be inferred from the text? A. The old idea “made in China, designed elsewhere” will never change. B. Government projects help some Chinese brands go global. C. Chinese brands’ success mainly depends on cheap products. D. Chinese soft power stops growing because of difficulties. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The development of social media platform TikTok in America. B. The reasons why Chinese coffee chains beat foreign brands. C. Chinese brands expand worldwide with achievements and challenges. D. The big problems of Chinese brands’ overseas marketing. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Overcome Depression Depression is a weakening condition that can make it impossible for you to enjoy your daily life.

As a high school student, I once held a deep distrust of animals, because of several terrifying encounters in my childhood. Once I was bitten by a rabbit, and another time a big dog charged me while I rode my bike to school. On a sweltering summer day, a stray dog (流浪狗) even chased my school cross-country training team when we were doing outdoor practice. All those negative experiences carved a fixed belief into my mind: all creatures, great and small, were no friends of mine. As I grew older and entered senior high school, I lived in the city with my family. Surprisingly, almost every friend I made raised pets, and I even got bitten by a pet bird by accident once. It felt like fate would never let me live peacefully alongside any animal. Then I met my best friend Lisa. We were close classmates, and after she moved to a new community near my home, I often went to her house, where I shared space with her lovely dog Bailey. Gradually, I began to accept the idea of getting along with this little creature. Even so, my prejudice (偏见) against animals never faded completely. I still kept away from Bailey and believed that all animals were unpredictable and dangerous. I often told Lisa that animals might hurt people suddenly, which sparked fierce arguments between us. No matter how gentle Bailey was, I refused to trust it fully. One evening, I went to Lisa’s backyard to wait for her. I was walking carelessly in the grass when my worst nightmare (噩梦) nearly came true. A poisonous snake crept out of the bushes and stared at me, ready to attack. Frozen with fear, I dared not move an inch. Just at that moment, Bailey rushed over instantly. It stood firmly in front of me, barking loudly to scare the snake away. It bravely drove the dangerous snake out of the yard. Witnessing this scene, I was speechless and moved to tears. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I knelt down and gently stroked (抚摸) Bailey’s head. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, Bailey became my trusted family member. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
